⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, check for a compatible version or use a mod manager to ensure proper load order.
